She was being brave and I missed it….
December 6, 2021 by
I was drying my hair the other day and thought I saw my first gray hair. Oh the horrors. Actually I laughed because I am overdue for one to show up and several of my friends upon reading this are hating on me right now. In my defense I can’t take credit for still having […]
